Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 038: Temporary Signal Transmitter

True to what Katerina said, Yun Mingyue came to Fan Chen's room at night, asking about the arrival of the Survivors in large numbers.

The two talked for several hours about the matter, but Fan Chen assured his mother that everything was under his control, and the people who came were trustworthy. But still, his mother was still unsure, not out of disbelief, but out of fear that these people would strike back.

Fan Chen knew this worry, but he always assured her, even revealing a spoiled expression with adorable dog eyes. But it did not melt his mother's heart, yet he continued to struggle, acting spoiled like a child until he completely forgot about the matter and fully accepted the people who came.

Yun Mingyue sighed looking at his son who was hugging his waist. He gently rubbed Fan Chen's head, looking up at the ceiling of the room. "Chen'er, can you make a request?"

Fan Chen looked up at his mother's face from below. "Whatever it is as long as I can do it, then I will do anything."

Yun Mingyue lowered her head, smiling warmly. "Mother told Chen'er not to use too much energy, but this time, I wanted to ask Chen'er to be able to create an intercom with powerful electromagnetic waves that could connect with the Imperial City."

Fan Chen let go of his embrace, kneeling in front of his mother. "Mom took care of us from childhood, Mom always obeyed all our wishes even though Mom was busy, and Mom spent a lot of money to make it happen. For Mother's request, it's very simple, the Tracking Tower has been upgraded, we can send electromagnetic waves to contact the Imperial City ..."

"By the way, do you want to know the news of the Capital? Want to contact the Government Center?"

"Yes." Yeah." Yun Mingyue nodded and said, "One year after the First Disaster, the government issued an announcement, they want to build a rocket to deliver a new satellite. But until now, there's been no clarity, I'd like to contact the party there to ask you about this matter."

Fan Chen fell silent, he had never heard of this, not even an announcement on the news. Whether radio or television, there was not a single piece of news about the construction of the rocket, where such a huge project should have been spread out.

"Talking about satellites, what happened about the ISS and Tiangong-3? Mutant Beasts couldn't possibly attack there, right?" Fan Chen really did not understand, after the First Disaster, the world seemed to return again to the 19th century where it took a lot of time just to communicate.

Yun Mingyue paused for a moment, then sighed and replied, "Because it has come this far, Mother will say it. the ISS and Tiangong-3 were destroyed by an asteroid six months after the First Disaster, then all the man-made satellites suddenly lost their signal, either by exploding, or by escaping from Earth's orbit and disappearing. Therefore, our communication is like going back hundreds of years."

Fan Chen went back into silence speechlessly. This information was too heavy, and he could understand why the government did not say anything about this, if this information were to spread, there would be an overwhelming panic.

"Sepent ..." Fan Chen stood up, he headed towards the corner k of the room and took out the intercom while opening the shop. He bought all the appropriate materials and directly stored them into the Warehouse. "Katerina, I've stored hundreds of Perforated Drones in the Warehouse, asked the Mechanic to modify them so that they can be used as temporary communication satellites, at least able to send signals smoothly for two thousand kilometers."

"Make sure the signal sent is no delay." Fan Chen added after a moment of silence.

Fan Chen himself originally wanted to directly buy a tool that could be used directly to send signals like satellites, but what power, the Stronghold System did not prepare all the finished technology, so, only the related knowledge and materials to make it.

“Good, Captain. Mechanic has received the task, confirmed finished after sunrise.” Katerina's voice sounded.

Yun Mingyue heard all the conversations. "Chen'er, your Manufacturing ability, is it limited?"

Fan Chen turned around with a wry smile. He nodded and replied, "Yes, this ability is not almighty. If it's infinite, I've directly created the Space Mothership, then flew away from Earth."

"Yes, that makes sense." Yun Mingyue nodded, then she stood up. "Then, Mom goes back to Mom's room. Chen'er sleeps fast, it's night."

Seeing that Yun Mingyue had already walked out of the room, Fan Chen sighed. He sat on the edge of the bed, trying to understand the problems that might come later in the day. "Meteor, this is hard."

...***...

Today is the fifth day since the Second Disaster came, and today many technicians are coming to the Supervisory Room to arrange additional equipment such as dozens of computers to regulate the flow of data, communication devices in electromagnetic and radio modes.

Yun Mingyue looked at everyone who arranged the equipment, she felt strange when she saw this. The technicians here are very professional, especially Wang Bin who is the same age as Katerina.

"Who are these people, they're so professional, why aren't they unheard of at all?"

Wang Bin came over to Yun Mingyue. "General, everything is installed, you just need to press the button to activate all the temporary signal catchers we've sent."

Yun Mingyue nodded, she stepped up and stopped in front of a table filled with buttons. He saw a red button protected by a glass box, where this protector was used in order to avoid accidental touching.

Suddenly the transmitter screen was black with nothing, yet it did not take much time to come back to life. The screen is back on with a different look.

The Tracking Tower scanned the surrounding area with a radius of two kilometers, but in the north direction was a central green dot with green lines that rotated clockwise, scanning the surrounding area.

Directly into the air, many radars scan the surrounding area.

Then, the intercom on the table started to light up, with rustling noises as it had yet to get a destination signal.

Yun Mingyue arranged it, she pressed a certain button, sending out morse code in the form of electromagnetic waves. If this morse code is interpreted, it has a strange meaning, between a mixture of animals and luxury goods.

“Here Headquarters No. 01. Phoenix, who's there?”

Yun Mingyue sighed when she heard the sound, even her voice was very smooth without any dotted signals. "Vice Alpha Team Leader. Cold Rose, report to Central Headquarters."

There was silence from the other party, as if in disbelief, but it was understandable.

Yun Mingyue again pressed a button to transmit the morse code, which was only known to members of Alpha Team and Central Headquarters to identify the identity.

“Cold Rose?! Is that really you?! A week ago we received information that you left Wind Protection City and were chased by the Fan Family. Are you okay?”

"Yes, that's okay, but at the moment we can't give you complete information. We can't send our coordinates. I contacted the headquarters because I wanted to ask about the satellite delivery project, where have you been? Will it be like this forever? Our communication is not forward, but backward."

“What can we make, Mutant Beasts guard the mine, we have trouble finding materials. But the upper echelon said one more month would launch the rocket. As for the coordinates, there is no need to tell, Alpha Team acts alone.”

Fan Chen who was at the back, leaned against the wall by folding both hands in front of the chest. "Wang Bin, Fu Shen. Are you able to find the coordinates of the Main Headquarters through electromagnetic waves?"

Wang Bin gave a small nod and replied, "We can make the tools. Use electromagnetic waves, scan anyone who is connected, and we can find them. Then, our artificial signal, only we can associate the opponent's signal, but the opponent can't. Even if the opponent knows there are electromagnetic waves in the air, but they can't connect with us if there's no clearance."

"Then, we can capture any signal in the air, we can decipher the signal sent and know the information."

"But ..." Wang Bin looked at Fan Chen and added, "The battery of the drone has a small capacity, maybe midnight is up, so we have to replace it one to two times in a day. We must quickly complete the Graphene Battery project according to the Captain's theory and scientific report. Related scientists have read it, and they say it can be directly produced if there is a production line and related materials."

Fan Chen nodded his head. "Can all signals be captured and deciphered?"

"Yes ..." Wang Bin nodded, but then added, "However, it is better that we immediately realize the SkyNet project by launching 118 Satellites."

Fan Chen nodded back, he had other plans to complete. He will call on the workforce of Space-related Aerospace Scientists, then with Engineer★, Wang Bin, who understands all the knowledge related to athronotics, should the SkyNet project be completed faster.

As for the ingredients, he could buy them from the Stronghold Shop as long as there was money.

"The sooner the better. If the government launches satellites first, we can be monitored from the sky, and this is troublesome."

Fan Chen clenched his hands, he turned around and walked out of the room. He wanted to organize an army that could go with him to search for gold and money to buy materials.
